Following and expanding on PMIas Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOKAr), Project Management Theory and Practice provides students with a complete overview of project management theoryain language they can easily understand. This classroom-tested textbook translates the abstract model vocabulary and processes from A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOKAr Guide), Fourth Edition into accessible discussions complete with contemporary views and projections for the future. The text integrates the organizational environment that surrounds a project to supply students with the well-rounded knowledge of theories, organizational issues, and human behavior needed to manage real-world projects effectively.
